FORK FERRY (THE FORK)

       The confluence of the Coosawattee and Conasauga Rivers near the Elks Club off  GA Highway 225, was known as “The Fork” by local people even before the removal of the Cherokees in 1838.  A ferry operated there for many years.  The post card view that illustrates this entry dates from around 1907 and indicates that the name, and possibly the ferry, was still used at that time.  See the entry on Gansagi.   (Jim Lay, BL)
